LGALS1
LGALS1 (galectin 1, GAL1) is a human gene on chromosome 22q13.1 encoding galectin-1, a 14 kDa beta-galactoside-binding lectin that regulates T-cell immunosuppression, B-cell development, angiogenesis, and tumor immune evasion.
LGALS3
LGALS3, the human galectin-3 gene on chromosome 14q22.3 (also MAC-2, CBP35), encodes the only chimera-type beta-galactoside-binding lectin, a 35-kDa inflammation and fibrosis mediator, FDA-cleared heart failure prognostic biomarker, and target of inhibitors belapectin and GB1211.
LGALS3BP
LGALS3BP (galectin-3-binding protein, 90K, Mac-2-BP), gene at 17q25.3, is a secreted SRCR-domain glycoprotein binding galectin-3, integrins, and Siglecs; induced by interferons, elevated in HIV infection, and a prognostic biomarker and antibody-drug-conjugate target in many cancers.
LGALS8
LGALS8 (galectin-8, Gal-8, PCTA-1) is a human chromosome 1q43 gene encoding a 34 kDa tandem-repeat beta-galactoside-binding lectin that senses endosomal membrane damage, triggers NDP52-mediated autophagy, modulates integrin adhesion, and is implicated in cancer.
LGALS9
LGALS9 (galectin-9, Gal-9, ecalectin) is a human chromosome 17q11.2 gene encoding a tandem-repeat beta-galactoside-binding lectin with two CRDs; it binds TIM-3 and PD-1 as a glyco-immune checkpoint ligand and immunotherapy target.
